Abstract

The first achiral bent core banana-shaped mesogen consisting of a thermally and hydrolytically stable salicylaldimine (2-hydroxybenzylideneamine) mesogenic segment has been synthesized and evaluated for its liquid crystalline behavior. This novel compound exhibits a single switchable mesophase over 60 °C temperature range. The textural and electro-optic switching characteristics suggest that the phase could be of the antiferroelectric type.
